2015 Nissan Leaf Electric · L1 AYW

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑10‑16 at 60,519 miles, but the test recorded several advisories including a tyre pressure monitor light, front tyres worn close to the legal limit, front brake discs worn and pitted, rear tyre damage from a nail, and corrosion on both rear coil springs. These findings, together with earlier reports of suspension arm bush splits and cracked components, show a deteriorating trend rather than improvement. Over the eleven‑year life the Leaf has accumulated 60,519 miles, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year—a low rate for its age. MOT entries are present each year from 2018 through 2025, indicating regular testing without long gaps. The modest mileage could reflect light use or storage periods, yet the wear items have advanced despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should inspect all tyres for tread depth, edge wear, and damage such as the recorded nail in the offside rear tyre. Front brake discs need close examination for pitting and inner‑face corrosion, while the rear coil springs should be checked for rust. The front suspension arm bushes noted with splits and cracks in 2023 require visual and mechanical assessment, and the under‑trays fitted in 2022 should be verified for secure attachment. The tyre pressure monitoring system should be tested for the reported warning light. Also the windscreen washer fluid level should be confirmed, and any corrosion on inner brake disc faces inspected. The combination of tyre wear, brake disc condition, and coil spring corrosion indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, it will likely need consumable replacements and possible suspension repairs soon after purchase. The low mileage does not guarantee low wear on these components, so a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is essential.
